Echoes of Autumn

Life is feeling unsettled, with health and work challenges, but I am feeling a strong need to do something creative and to get out of the house. These sunny days and fall colours are calling as I look outside and see the golds and reds backlit by an intense blue sky. They fill me with a longing that is for something more than the here and now, this kind of longing is simultaneously a sweetness and a pang, as it can't be fully met in the here and now. But I hear the whispers of joy and beauty that pull me forward and out, echoing a larger voice both dear and familiar, ringing in my ears.
